The description details its design by Manuel Mondragon, manufacture by SIG in Switzerland, and initial adoption by the Mexican Army. The video will showcase a prototype from 1900, a Mexican-issue 1908 with accessories, a WWI-era German rebarreled example in 8mm Mauser, and a SIG-updated unsold rifle. The description highlights the rifle's early reliability issues with Mexican-produced ammunition, though it performed well with European-made rounds.
This video explores two experimental SIG prototype rifles from the 1924-25 period. The description highlights SIG's early involvement in semiautomatic rifle production, referencing their prior work on the Mexican M1908 Mondragon rifles. These prototypes are noted for their extravagant complexity, which likely prevented them from becoming production models, but are presented as fascinating examples of early self-loading rifle design development.
